Italia towards Euro 2008!

With Euro 2008 just around the corner, the friendly against Espana is a gauge of how big a challenge the Azzurri, campione del mondo, can mount in that competition.

David Villa
His spectacular volley earned Espana a 1-0 win, and losing to this goal doesn't mean all is lost for the Azzurri. Villa's strike is typically the decider between who win the cup and who's not, if this game is not a mere friendly match. He will surely be a class act to watch during the Euro, and also the whole Espana. This victory extended Spain's unbeaten streak to 14 matches. Maybe it's time they end their jinx with major competition.

The positive
While Espana enjoyed the lion's share of possession, it was the Azzurri who created the better chances.

'We had very good chances. We didn't deserve to lose,' is what Italia coach Roberto Donadoni said.

The Azzurri threat came largely from set pieces, with Pirlo floating several dangerous crosses into the area, and Luca Toni actually scored a goal, headed in a free kick early on but the goal was disallowed for offside.

The Squad: Can they win it?
The 2006 World Cup was a dream come true to all the Azzurri fans! but this time around, with them in the group of death as well, it will be another big challenge, with the fans hopeful they can capitalize their "World Champion" status to win another major competition.

The current squad still built largely around the World Cup winning team: the likes of Goalkeeper Buffon, Defender Cannavaro and Materazzi, Midfield Pirlo and Camoranesi,and Striker Toni. Notable departure include Nesta, Totti, Del Piero(still possible to make the squad), which are irreplaceable, but life goes on, we will have to look forward to more stars to come through the ranks and keep the Azzurri at the top.

The goalkeeping section looks to be in good hand. Buffon is unquestionable, while Amelia has prove himself to be capable over this few years.

The list of defenders, besides the departure of Nesta and the inclusion of Panucci, looks very much the same as 2006. If there is anything to worry about, it is the age factor, with Materazzi and Cannavaro at 34 and 33. The inclusion of Panucci in recent games, to me has been a step backward, though I wouldn't write off his contribution to the Azzuri's qualifying campaign. The likes of Andrea Barzagli is not new to the team, and I hope he can step up to the shoes when called upon.

The midfield also, still consists of many of the 2006 team, is the strength of the team, though their form will largely effect the attacking ability of the team. Pirlo will have a much bigger role to play, with Totti now retired, he will need to provide that moment of inspiration. Some interesting young lad like Aquilani is included for this friendly, and I'm sure there will be more experimenting from Donadoni before the final squad is picked.

The Forward, or Striking department is the most worrying department. Besides Toni, there are no notable strikers with enough credential to lead the forward line. Vincenzo Iaquinta has been doing ok in Juventus, while Fabio Quagliarella, Marco Borriello and Antonio Di Natale are the in-form strikers in Serie A, but whether they can step up to the International scene is big question mark, with the recent decline of standard in Serie A.

happy moments ;) Episode 2: Calming Effect

"This is an important decision to make, and if I get it wrong, I will suffer for one whole year". This sentence, I keep on telling myself. I was undecided, confused, hesitant to make a decision, and this situation bothers me. Rarely I feel so hard to make a definite decision, and as I crack my head trying to come to a definite decision, I get frustrated, I feel restless.

Then I received a message. A calming message. But no particular calming words. Just another message like any other one. Talking about recent life. Talking about how busy life can be. Talking about how one can fly to greater heights, overcome obstacles.

An ordinary message, yet it calm me down. Suddenly my analytical mind is back in its job. I started to weight the pros and cons of every options around. It's time for me to make a definite decision.

And as I talk to friends around, telling them the pros and cons of the options, each have their own perspective of the options. All these different perspectives, make me even more clear of where my decisions lies. Really thanks to all my friends around, who have listened to me, and given me suggestions. I'm glad and happy to have them around.

And to my friends who are facing difficulties, hold on, be strong and overcome it! Nothing is too hard to overcome!

The MC Dilemma

I really pity my friend, MC. He has been going through a dilemma for quite some time now. He is one who really cares for the college we are staying in, and also the development of our university. As the student counsel election gets closer, he really feels undecided on who he should vote for. If not for his care and, he would have less of a headache he is having now.

People in the college has been telling him to vote for the representative of the college, saying that if he fails, our college will not have a representative in the counsel, and thus if anything happened to the college, the counsel will not be of help, and people in the college will suffer. He has been thinking for a while, and this theory is actually very logical! “Ya! No doubt I should vote for our college representative”. Just as he tries to take this as a final decision, he feels something is not right, something is amiss. For a while he thinks, and he finally figures out what is not right. “It’s the candidate!”

He knows this fella for quite some time already. He is a nice guy, no doubt, in fact too nice to be in the counsel, he feels. He never argues with people, always give in when there are conflicts going on, and even apologized to appease people even if he is in the right. After hearing this, I finally understand why MC is so undecided and restless.

He keeps on asking himself whether there must be a representative in counsel for his college, or someone who really deserve to be in the counsel to bring the university forward. Both are logical choices, and he can only choose one. I suggest that “maybe we should go with the best candidate instead, since if this fella really get into the counsel, he also wouldn’t do anything for the college”. But his response is, “it’s unthinkable not to have any rep from our college in the counsel!”

I do not know how he decides to vote in the end, but if our college keeps on choosing candidate that is not capable and do not performs, I guess MC will keep on having this dilemma year after year.
